I actually disagree with that. It’s widely considered a socially aware concept album, which I find weird because the biggest hit singles apart from the title track had fuck all to do with that theme, and the “socially conscious” songs remained as generally weaker album tracks that never even made it to radio, which only her actual fans would even know.Weird how much this album passed me by when it was out - it’s pretty much her True Blue or Bad, it’s closer to a Greatest Hits than a studio album. Even moreso in the US
The biggest revelation for me in rediscovering early Janet in recent years has been Love Will Never Do. My GOD what a song that is.
It is over there, yes. It’s still weird how they also label it as a concept album though. It’s a bit like saying Dangerous was a concept album because of Jam, Heal The World, Black or White and Why You Wanna Trip On Me.I meant simply as an album full of huge hits, which it was in America.
